Topic: Being Charged for Appointments

Hey just wondering if anyone can shed some light on the Weight Wise Clinic in Edmonton. I just had my first appointment a few weeks ago and today I received a bill from AHS for $288 for an "out patient appointment". I was under the impression that this was covered, will there be charges for every appointment? What will I have to pay for surgery? Any knowledge would be helpful!

Your welcome. I used the internet and got much help from You Tube videos, blogs, and this site. I just wish I started blogging before my surgery and the whole process leading up to it as well... Now I can only hope I am helping someone and supporting someone even after my surgery and into the future :)
